What can culture, and its manifestations in artistic and creative forms, 'do'? This book draws on original collaborative research that brings together a range of stories and perspectives on the role of creativity and resistance in a hostile world. In times of racial nationalism across the world, it seeks to connect, in a grounded way, how creative acts have agitated for social change. -- .
